win

[Luis Otero]

Hi,
I use Acme on windows.
Is it possible to change the shell started by the win command? In
plan9 you can use $shell but acme refuses to start with it.

Thanks, L.

win will run the executable given as its argument instead of the
shell,
if there is one, so for example you can exec "win os cmd".

There are other options but that's probably the cleanest of them.

Thanks.

I am using rc (plan 9 shell) in windows (compiled with cygwin) and it
works fine started with "win os rc.exe -l -i".

I am trying to "re-write" the built-in cd command (as suggested in
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/magic/man2html/1/acme) as
fn cd { builtin cd $1 && awd $sysname }

but I can't get awd.dis working. Both acme-0.13/sys/emu/Nt/emu awd.dis
and acme-0.13/sys/emu/Nt/acme awd.dis crashed.

And "/cygdrive/d/acme-0.13/Acme.exe /acme/dis/awd.dis /l" didn't
crash but the window title didn't change.

Any idea?

Thanks for your time.

a simpler way is to setup the rc environment
to send out a special control sequence on cd,
and have acme-sac win update its label.

please see http://9fans.net/archive/2010/05/498.

it may be necessary to rewrite the 'pwd' output
in http://swtch.com/usr/local/plan9/bin/awd.
for example, pwd.exe from 9pm prints
<drive>:<path>, which should be rewritten
as /n/<drive>/<path>, to enable b3 on
relative file names.

i use this trick when i launch cygwin shell
from acme-sac and also when i ssh to
solaris workstations with u9fs running.

Works fine!.

Another one..... how do interrupt a shell inside Acme (Ctrl+C doesn't
work)?

Thanks,

you close the window.

no interrupt in inferno, only kill, i'm afraid.
